Hardest part o& setup is determining which device is which. Has helped keep kids off the internet

Commercial grade web filtering made super simple for the masses. I have recommended this device and related cloud service to dozens of friends and family, and it's price and simplicity can't be beat! I have yet to recommend it to someone that hasn't loved this product.

I bought this because my son would stay up all night playing games. Not anymore! I love how I can set bedtimes on multiple devices. I have control again and it's easy to use. I know it has even more potential that I haven't tapped into yet. Great price for a great product!

This is a neat little device that lets me filter my home Internet connection. I wanted a way to filter my whole network from a central control which this device provides. The software is easy to use. It identifies all of the devices as they access the network for the first time, I added them to groups and set friendly names for each device, then I set rules for each group. It's easy. Because of the way the device works to intercept traffic, it seems to be very "chatty" on the network. On my network, this works to keep my Android phone from going into deep sleep when I am at home. That's the one drawback to this device.

Great solution for basic needs but time to time it fails to works and you have to delete and re add device Overall concept is great and hope they improve it with firmware

Simple setup and within 5 minutes was up and running. Didn't slow WIFI down at all. Even worked with my smart TV and Roku Device. Reporting on each profile and device was a nice bonus hope future updates or devices will be more robust in this area or even capture content/websites.

We found this to be very helpful device to control household internet use without having to be confrontational. Set a timer and poof, off it goes when you need it off.

The Circle is not at all referencing the movie of the same name. This device controls your home network in the way you think our national borders should be controlled. Now, do you think I’m being pro-(insert your favorite causes name here)?!? No. You have just as much restriction as you want, or as little as you want! Personally, as a dad, I want the most restrictive controls on my little guys, a little less restriction on my teenagers, and I don’t mind keeping track of how much time I’m spending on BestBuy.com drooling over the latest tech. I can also completely free up my Nest (tm) with unrestricted access. Is it without issues? No. I’m still working on system link for my Xbox One and Xbox 360 at home, but all in all this is what every home that cares about their kids needs to add to their network. And now that you can monitor your kids activity away from home...well, maybe it is like the book after all.

I bought this to help control screen time in my newly single parent household. My son didnt like that I bought something that could be used to put the internet on hold but he adjusted and we have been happy with the results of less screen time.

Works great as a way to control what our grandchildren can access on the internet.

Having young children, it can be a challenge to hover over shoulders when they're online. Circle by Disney helps considerably, not only monitoring but allowing you to be proactive. Three children, three settings. It was simple to install and has been a breeze to use.

This is what we expected and was easy to sync with our wifi but know that setting it up on each device does take time to work properly.

Love the Circle! I am so thankful that there is a device like this that can help manage the usage of our 3 developing girls, 7, 12, and 13. In this busy day and age its great to have this to help shut off or reward the teens and baby for usage.

Wanted a good internet filter to keep kids from accessing inappropriate content. This one does that just fine. No monthly fees, which is nice. Easy to setup.

Very easy to setup. The only reason I didn't give five stars is it can be a little difficult finding certain devices. I still love it.

Nutshell: My 11yr old now says Disney hates kids and I hate that thing. I first used the Circle on a Netgear Router product and liked the basics, but the idea of paying $5 more a month for basic service that is free with the cube. The biggest problem from there was finding a router that would work properly with the cube and my apparently very connected household (30+ items). I tried several on the Circle approved/compatible list, and they could not keep up (except for the EA9300, it could but I don't like Linksys implementation of a guest network). Finally tried the ASUS RT-AC3200 and could not be happier. As for complaints, the history function is sometimes lacking in that it only logs the I address and sometimes the app is buggy and slow (there is no web page interface, it must be an app).

I was skeptical when I purchased the Circle By Disney but my opinion soon changed when I realized just how simple it was to setup. After a few easy minutes, my network is setup. No more worrying about unwanted site access for those under age. Easy peasy!

I know some people think that you should educate your children on screen time and browsing activities and I have talked myself blue in the face and had countless fights about screen time. Enter The Circle sat child down explained Time Limits were being enforced by a device not me (after we agreed on a time limit and chores to earn extra time) Voila fights have declined to almost none, chores get done when extra time is wanted, bedtimes are also set so at a certain time internet turns off for children's devices and any adults can still get work done.

Simply put: if you have children, you need this. Block the websites you want, allow the rest...it’s all up to you. You can also set time limits to help your kids manage their time to balance fun, homework, and chores! This device is amazing.

Circle has really helped us managed internet access in our home. It's easy to set up and the iOS app is great. The schedule feature combined with the ability to suspend access at any time for specific devices is amazing. Set up was easy too!
